Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

An object has rotational inertia I. The object,initially at rest, begins to rotate with a constant angularacceleration of magnit
Tresset [83]

Answer:

L = I α t

Explanation:

given,                                          

rotational inertia = I              

initial velocity = ω₀                      

magnitude of acceleration = α      

angular momentum = L          

time = t                              

angular acceleration                                

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega-\omega_0}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega - 0}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega}{t}

ω = α t..............(1)

angular momentum                    

L = I ω                    

putting value from equation (1)

L = I α t

edward travels 150 kilometers due west and then 200 kilometers in a direction 60 degrees north of west.what is his displacement
Naily [24]

The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200²  - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

To move a heavy object, like a refrigerator what could be used to help decrease the frictional force?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.

B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor

C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily

Explanation:

Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.

F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.

Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.
